Be honest, if you could go back in time and do it again.....

No regrets here, either. It's been a great car for us. Although I do miss my 2005 Scion xB from time to time (the vehicle I traded in on the Yaris), I love the Yaris.

However, if I had to buy a new small car right now, I would definitely do some cross shopping with the Mazda2, Hyundai Accent, Ford Fiesta, Chevrolet Sonic, and Nissan Cube.

I like all of those cars looks and feature wise, but the Mazda 2 and the Cube don't get good enough gas mileage, and the Sonic is built by one of the companies that took a bailout (). I'd have to consider the Fiesta and the Accent, but I think (although now distinctive in a different way) I'd still pick the Yaris re it's exterior styling...even though I can't stand the looks of the dash.

If I decided I could give up the manual, was willing to spend a bit more, but still cared about MPG I'd get a Prius C.

If I was willing to spend a bit more, but cared just slightly less about MPG, I'd get a Subaru Impreza.

If I was willing to spend more, but didn't care that much about MPG I'd get a Mini or a BMW 1 series.

One of my neighbors has a new Fiesta and another has a new BMW 1 Series Coupe, so I'd probably ask each of them quite a few questions. Each of those cars caught my eye before my neighbors became owners.
